Well, I'll stop being a curmudgeon (temporarily) and say that I actually like some of the recent changes in the new board.

Having one column on the left is an improvement on the two-column design. Also, it appears that you've changed the maroon "bar" (header?) at the top of each post to a gray one - much easier to read.

We're getting there...

Now, for a truly troubling thing: Why are you no longer able to be Member #1? I take it as a given that many people here will say that you are now and will always be #1 with them, and I would agree, generally, with that assessment.

My point is that even if some of us may disagree from time to time, you should never be referred to as #2 - especially after reading the previous posts in this thread by Mig and SB.
